Sawing of larger branches (Fig. 17)
▪ When sawing larger branches (Ø8-25 cm), first make a relief cut (A). A relief cut also
prevents peeling of the bark on the main trunk.
▪ Saw from the top (B) to the bottom (A).
Saw in sections (Fig. 18)
Trim long or thick branches before you make the final cut.
